The 50 best games of 2015

In a nutshell Squad-based combat in the Star Wars universe as the Imperials and Rebels duke it out in sprawling multiplayer matches.

Why we like it Battlefront earns its chops by offering players the most authentic Star Wars experience in video games. The multiplayer action is set around a cluster of the original trilogy's most iconic locations --the Forest Moon of Endor, the snowy plains of Hoth, the deserts of Tatooine-- and assault the senses with a veritable feast of memory-twitching visuals and screeching audio cues. Supremely mainstream and perhaps lacking in depth, but there are few multiplayer mash-ups as fun.
